1. CONFUSED AND UNSURE
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.21.06)
Yalon ; ""It's impossible to create legitimacy toward Israel's policy, when we are confused and unsure of our just cause"" IT seems that many Jews are confused and unsure of why thert are there in the land of Israel and because of their small "grasshopper " status they are quick to surrender to and appease and enemy which cannot be appeased. Thier lack of faith gives them no reason to stand firm and everey reason to retreat. This action only ENCOURAGES and HELPS the enemies of Israel as Mr. Yaalon so wisely pointed out. it's good to see not everyone in Israel is confused and unsure.
2. A Single Jewish State from Jordan river to Mediteranian
Steve ,   USA   (02.21.06)
B"H That single state from the Jordan river to the Mediteranean is a viable political position. The question is why when Jews put this forward, the party is made "illegal" in Israel and outlawed to undermine its democratic representation, but when Hamas puts this position forward, embrasing a different religion than Judiasm, people pay more attention, and even enable it with some degree of automomy. I would call it antisemitism. I think there should be a single Jewish state with no Arab presence there especially in light that the representing Arabs only propose one state without any Jewish presence. A thief who comes to secretly steal at night is compared to a murderer in this week's Torah portion. How is Hamas, who covers its face as it launches murderous military attacks on Israel any different than a murderer and a theif that hides its identity, a theif that shouts that he wants to steal something precious and continue to murder? He has trained his children to premeditate murder in his educational system that glorifies "suicide" bombings. His taking life is based on premedidated hate, making it not accidental but rather murder. He seeks to conquer through blood Jerusalem, again murder. He seeks to take the cold blooded murderer of Israeli government official Zeevi out from incarceration. No peace can be made with Hamas. It is just a question of defining the points of engagement in Hamas's destruction. Why would I want murderers in my back yard? I would want to get rid of them, by whatever feasible means, because they threaten stability, my famility, and peace.
3. Yaalon Tells the Truth
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (02.21.06)
And Israelis disregard what he says at their peril. Kadima is Labor is Meretz, and will govern with them if it wins the March 28 elections. Israel's security is being jeopardized needlessly.
4. RIGHT ON, BOOGIE!

5. Yaalon warned us before Sharon & Olmert fired him
Juke ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.21.06)
Yaalon warned us before Sharon & Olmert fired him for not supporting the disengagement. Let's listen to him now. He understands that the long term goal of the Arabs and Palestinians is the “establishing a Palestinian state that extends from the Jordan River to the sea.”
6. PA to FIGHT TERROR
Kobi ,   Jerusalem   (02.21.06)
LOL, HAHAHA. Has anybody else fellon the floor laughing? Or is maybe too disgusted to do so? "Commenting on Israel’s policy towards the Palestinians, Yaalon said Israel should seek Washington’s help in pushing the Palestinian Authority to implement reforms and fight terror groups. No concession should be made to the Palestinians so long these conditions are not met." What the hell is this man, asupposed security expert thinking? Isn't this what Israel and other countries have been asking the TERRORIST AUTHORITY to do since OSLO, 1993 (Before 1,900 dead Jews)? How can we expect a terrorist group such as the PA to fight terrorism PA< FATAH, AL AKSA M.B., PFLP, HAMAS, ISlamic Jihad they all wish the destruction of Israel. The only people left on the left in Avoda and Kadima are radical exptremists who are either delusional or don't care about further Jewish deaths and the falling aprt and destruction of Israel. Anybody out there? Sharpen up you brain and turn in to the "on" position.
7. Yaalon should be PM.....
(02.21.06)
.....not Peretz the moustache man or Olmert the ex mayor who cannot even run a city so how can he run an entire country or Bibi the ego maniac Boogie, stop wasting time on imposing on yourself a mandatory rest period before going to politics. We need you here now. Your time to step up is now. Show us that you still have the decisiveness you are so well known for.
8. Nuclear Hamas
Mauricio ,   Brazil   (02.21.06)
Hamas and Iran are an explosive union. Stop Iran before it may transfer nuclear technologie to Hamas. Hamas will set the region on fire...
9. Yaalon & True Heroism. In Very Short Supply
Adina kutnicki ,   US   (02.21.06)
Yaalon is one of the few heroes of the IDF elite. It is because of this heroism that Sharon saw fit to oust him out of his powerful position. In what other normal country would a leader dismiss the most competent, non political head of the armed forces, in order to bring in a political lackey?
10. Giving Jewish land to Arab terrorists creates more terror.
Daisy ,   USA   (02.22.06)
Now Israel is reaping the stupidity of it's actions.
11. Well DUH. Steal Jew's homes, help ham-ass, DUH!
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (02.22.06)
